Stomach Hurts After Drinking Water

Hi friends, everytime I drink plain water I feel sick and sometimes get a little stomach ache afterwards. I was wondering if anybody else has the same problem and if so does it eventually go away? I also get very sleepy after I eat and then it goes away, any ideas. I am 21 daost post op. Thanks!

Try drinking warm liquids such as tea or water that is flavored with mio or crystal lite. I used to get sleepy after eating also. I forgot about that. You really need to put your questions on the forums not your blog. You will get more responses. Try the "post op" forum.

I have the same problem! I can eat a sf Popsicle with no problem but when I drink cold water, my stomach hurts. Not for long but an annoyance! I asked my surgeon and he said he didn't know why because I could tolerate other cold items. But he said it would eventually go away. Let's hope so!!

i cant't drink plain water either....weird much? i drink the fruit punch & pink lemonade crystal light. very good flavors and i can tolerate it better. you can also sip the broth from lipton noodle soup, as hot as you can take it...soothing. hope this helps.

with the weather being so cold in the uk at the mo i have gone from drinking plain room temperature water(as fridge water made me so cold) to now getting in all my water through black tea with xylotol sweetner. in fact i think i am exceeding the reccommended 1.5 litres per day purely coz i love my tea i drink rooibos or red bush tea as its also known.
